This study discusses the results of laboratory analyses investigating the chemical coagulation of a model of humic acid solution with the use of monomeric iron(III) salts – chloride and sulfate – in a standard coagulation test environment. The objective of the study was to determine changes in iron compound concentrations in the tested solution as a result of coagulation. The following parameters were analyzed in solution samples: changes in COD, colour, turbidity, suspended solids, pH, and streaming potential in relation to the applied coagulant dose. The content of total iron (Fe_total) and iron(II) was determined in solution samples after coagulation. The lowest Fe_total concentrations were observed following the use of optimal coagulant doses, and higher doses led to a repeated increase in total iron levels. In purified solution samples, iron(III) was partially reduced to iron(II) with an 8-42% share of Fe_total, depending on salt type and the applied dose.
